CTBI visit to those helping refugees in Italy

Christine Elliott, Director of International Programmes for CTBI, and Bala Gnanapragasam, the Vice President Designate of the Methodist Church in Britain, visited churches and organisations in Italy that help refugees, during April 2018.

Those visited included the Federation of Protestant Churches of Italy (FCEI), the Community of Sant’Egidio and Mediterranean Hope, which together work on a programme of ‘Humanitarian Corridors’ through an agreement with the Italian Government to bring refugees, mostly from Syria, to Italy safely and swiftly, and to receive them into an hospitable and caring environment.
